The hassle or need to type in the card or bank details goes away with UPI. You can use UPI to transfer money to your family, friends, or even between your own bank accounts.

How to be Safe from Cyber Attacks

As people increasingly spend more time online, sharing and exchanging information, it is important to stay safe from cyber threats.

These attacks are targeted at individual users, corporations, healthcare providers, and educational institutions that can also fall prey to cybercrimes. Among these, individual users are the most vulnerable.

So, here are some ways to keep your digital data safe and secure.

Passwords:

The most common passwords of vulnerable users are '123456' and 'password', according to a survey by security firm ImmuniWeb.

Experts recommend 4 basic requirements for a strong password - an uppercase letter, a symbol, a numeral, and a minimum of 10 characters. Having a unique password for different accounts ensures hackers don't get easy access.

Password management applications like Dashlane and Password Boss can help keep passwords locked down, security firm Norton says.

Internet security suite:

This is a collection of software utilities that protect a user's computer from malware. Combined with anti-virus software and a firewall, the suite can help protect against identity theft. Computers are 5.5 times more likely to be infected by malware without an anti-virus system, according to a report by Microsoft.

Social media exposure:

Restricting personal information on social media sites allows minimal access to cybercriminals. 
For instance, if you post your pet’s name or reveal your mother’s maiden name, you might expose the answers to two common security questions. So, staying cautious on social media platforms will be of great help to you.


Home network:

Virtual Private Networks (VPN) creates an encrypted tunnel between the user and the remote server, making data secure from prying eyes. Several VPN service providers offer their service for monthly or annual fees.


Remedial measures:

So, what can you do if, despite taking necessary precautions, you fall prey to a cyberattack? If your office-provided system has been hit, immediately let your human resource contact know.

For Individuals, a complaint can be filed with National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. Other temporary measures include resetting passwords and re-formatting your data.


For an organization:

Recognizing and addressing the possibility of vulnerabilities can be the first step in increasing security. Organizations can inform their employees about the various forms of threats like phishing and trojan attacks. This will help conduct timely action, especially with children and elderly consumers.

Zero-day vulnerability: What it is, and how it works

A zero-day exploit is when hackers take advantage of a software security flaw to perform a cyberattack. And that security flaw is only known to hackers, meaning. Software developers have no clue about its existence and have no patch to fix it. This is why, when a zero-day attack is detected, it needs to be mitigated immediately. In other words, there are “zero days” to fix vulnerability because it’s already been exploited. Here, we’re zeroing in on the zero-day concept, including just what is a zero-day exploit, and how to avoid them. 1. Zero-day definitions: What is zero-day? The term “zero-day” refers to a newly discovered software vulnerability and the fact that developers have zero days to fix the problem because it has been — and has the potential to be — exploited by hackers. Sometimes written as 0-day, zero-day definitions run the gamut: A zero-day vulnerability , also known as a zero-day threat, is a flaw in security software that’s unknown to someone interested in mitig
